Hi All,
I have read that some song pluggers won't take just any material. And they cost quite a bit if they do take your material. Unless you have bookoo money to spend you need to pass on song pluggers. There is probably no easy way to get your songs to those are in a place to actually use them. For the most part you can't submit to the Major Producers seeking songs for an Artist. You can suscribe to a tip sheet, buy the Songwriter's Market, published yearly in late September or so or try making contact thru your Pro. TAXI is another place you can use. Last but not least you can try making cold contacts in person.

I have suscribed to The Parade of Stars Tip sheet of which has a Web Site and you will get a bi-weekly mailing by E-mail if you suscribe. http://www.paradeofstars.com .

If you do use a plugger and are succesful they will most likely have a publisher that they use. Usually they will also want publishing. If you don't belong to a Pro you will have to join one at that time.

I would not spend a lot of money trying to get your songs thru doors. I have all my songs on CD, can copy them to CD, print out the lyric sheet, have a cover letter that I use, a 6x9 envelope template in my computer that I address and print out when an opportunity is listed. If you don't have a good system for submitting songs you should get that done.

My submissions are very presentable. The better your package looks the more sucessful you will be.
